Music was introduced to the school in 1927, with Albert du Toit as first music teacher.
Music is seen as an integral part of the balanced lifestyle of Paarl Boys High, and the school has a proud tradition in this field with many Old Boys coming into prominence in their musical careers.
Tuition is offered in all the keyboard, woodwind and brass instruments, as well as singing, electric guitar and drumkit. Every teacher is a specialist in the instrument(s) that they teach. Boys may choose to make music only for the fun of it, or participate in a number of eisteddfods and external examinations.
